About Me

Most Interesting Summer Experience

The most interesting thing that I did this summer was dine in restaurant owned by a chef who beat an Iron Chef Garces!

Here's a link to the video: http://www.foodnetwork.com/videos/garces-vs.-paley/105421.html


We went to Vitali Pailey's restaurant, Pailey's Place 

It was some of the best food of my life and I got to spend it with my wife for our 6 year wedding anniversary.

What I do in my Free Time

My most favorite moments are with my little family.  I have two great kids and an amazing wife that make life very interesting...

I'm a big fan of the Seattle Seahawks (looking real good this year).

Every chance I get, I enjoy going outdoors and taking a hike on a mountain trail.  That's why I will often stop by this place whenever I can.

For this class, I hope to teach essential skills in reading, understanding literary text, helping students earn needed credits, and help all student meet core standards.  I've got a lot of work to do (as do you)!
